Goodwood victor Fox Legacy set Strensall task
The former Sir Michael Stoute inmate has improved dramatically this season, rising from a rating of 90 to a lofty 116, and proved his liking for York when winning the John Smith's Cup. He then won what looked a tight nine-furlong conditions race at Goodwood by five and a half lengths. 'As long as all is OK he will probably go to the Strensall,' said Alastair Donald, racing manager for owners King Power Racing. 'There are international options after that, places like Bahrain, and he has been put in the Champion Stakes as well. 'In the Hunt Cup he didn't have a great draw and in hindsight Oisin (Murphy) said he didn't go fast enough that day to bring his stamina into it, so I don't think we'll be going back to a mile again. 'I think 10 furlongs is his trip. He ran over a mile and a half for Sir Michael, he probably didn't stay it but it wouldn't be crazy to think that at some point in the future he'd try it again. 'The joy of him is that he goes on all ground which makes life a lot easier to plan. 'He was really impressive at Goodwood and had that race been 10 furlongs, who knows how far he might have won.'
